Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Hi Mr President.

Ready for another epic week?

Damn straight. Yourself?

Got the first part of the training catch up this week. Meeting with a few boys for drinks to get a few things underway! Feeling pumped. Should be an awesome way to finish the week.

For interests sake, if I was to buy a non rego'd car from NSW, that happens to have had an engine swap along the line somewhere (engine number not updated), when I get the car to QLD and in prep for QLD rego, should I notify them of engine number change before I get the mobile roady guy out? Or? From what I remember, the mobile roady guy compared engine numbers before signing off on Cara's zed (which we bought from NSW).

Enlighten me

SKIDS!!! Morning all

Morning Nark. Was thinking this morning, since you're so anti-nissan, maybe you should get brakes from the new HSV. The bus goes past a Holden dealer and I saw the brakes and just thought, why would they need so much stopping power on something that produces SFA horsepower?

You would need to notify them before the mobile RW guy comes out.

Don't you work for TMR? :P

I thought that might be the case, however, since the car isn't on the QLD books, what would they update exactly?

Hell no I don't work for them, just in one of their buildings ;)

You raise a valid point. They would probably create a shell of the car on their systems and note it accordingly so that it's updated at time of rego - if they ran like an effective corporation.

Sure sure.... :P

I duno dude 435kw needs some stopping, also I didn't cook my brakes on Sunday. I only cook them with you guys cause it's like track day as opposed to line ups

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
